Good point! Sometimes I can't see the forest thru the trees.

With weather looking good I thought I would head out to Atsion Lake. Anyone know if the water level is high enough to paddle around without issues? I know it's late in season. Thx

I'll be the next in line, if Long-a-coming bails I can definitely pick it up in a moments notice (well maybe within an hour or so).

So if I was leaving a pickup vehicle down by the lake, can I go on Batsto Lake Rd all the way up to Quaker Bridge for the drop-off? Does it require a 4WD to get there? Thanks

With the weather nice the weekend, thought we'd run the canoe down the Wading River, probably somewhere from Hawkins down to Beaver Branch. Anyone know the condition after Sandy, are there lots of tress/brush to deal with?

Guy, the statement "The odds most likely are very good that it may never happen again" may be a a bit misleading for a number of reasons. Having had Lyme disease does not provide protection against re-infection, many people who have had Lyme and been treated get renewed infection after...

When you made the appointment did you mention about pulling off an engorged deer tick? Not sure if they would have been able to fit you in sooner. If you do wait the 10 days I'm sure the doc will adjust the meds as neccessary. Good move in seeking out a quick treatment.

Looks like an engorged deer tick to me. I'm hoping that you will not wait until the "...rash appears", since the rash does not appear in 100% of the actual bites. To get back to the question about testing, yes you can send the tick away to test for Lyme, I believe it is around $150. The...

Good point, false positives are also bad. I would suggest you check out www.ilads.org to get more information. With respect to testing, the MAJOR RECOMENDATIONS at the following link suggest clinical analysis of symptoms, not testing, be used to guide the treatment...

Long-a-coming: Forget the test, you were lucky you had a positive result but if it shows up negative it may (actually most likely) be a false negative. If your doc wants to stop meds because a test the negative then you need to strongly consider changing docs. I am not a doc and this is not...

I guess the title says it all, how can I PM a specific member?

Bees for sure. We have them every year in our yard as soon as the weather breaks. As to what kind I don't know.

Did you mean to say it should be over 3'10", or actually 3.10'? The water gauge reading depicted in feet (todays reading is 3.03') on the USGS site. If you meant 3'10" then the water gauge reading would need to be 3.83 or greater.

We've being going to that wine fest for a few years now. They only have their (Valenzano) wines for tasting, but the music is usually good and the food there is pretty good, but perhaps a bit overpriced. We always bring chairs and pack some food/snacks since we usually purchase a bottle to...

Don't use the negative results of the lyme tests as a means to discount lyme (or any other tickborne illness). The tests are known to be very inaccurrate and perhaps an appropriate clinical diagnosis is best based on symptoms. You should hit the check out the referral info from "46er" since...
